Opis: Sensor Technologies for Civil Infrastructures

Sensors are used for civil infrastructure performance assessment and health monitoring, and have evolved significantly through developments in materials and methodologies. Sensor Technologies for Civil Infrastructure Volume I provides an overview of sensor hardware and its use in data collection. The first chapters provide an introduction to sensing for structural performance assessment and health monitoring, and an overview of commonly used sensors and their data acquisition systems. Further chapters address different types of sensor including piezoelectric transducers, fiber optic sensors, acoustic emission sensors, and electromagnetic sensors, and the use of these sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures. Developments in technologies applied to civil infrastructure performance assessment are also discussed, including radar technology, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. Sensor Technologies for Civil Infrastructure provides a standard reference for structural and civil engineers, electronics engineers, and academics with an interest in the field. * Describes sensing hardware and data collection, covering a variety of sensors* Examines fiber optic systems, acoustic emission, piezoelectric sensors, electromagnetic sensors, ultrasonic methods, and radar and millimeter wave technology* Covers strain gauges, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), multifunctional materials and nanotechnology for sensing, and vision-based sensing and lasersIntroduction to sensing for structural performance assessment and health monitoring; Sensor data acquisition systems and architectures; Review of frequently-used traditional sensors and associated algorithms; Piezoelectric transducers for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Fiber optic sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Acoustic emission sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Nonlinear acoustic and ultrasound methods for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Radar technology: radio frequency, interferometric, millimeter wave and terahertz sensors for civil applications; Electromagnetic sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Nano-enabling multifunctional materials and sensing of civil infrastructures; Laser-based sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Corrosion sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Vision-based sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Robotic sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures; Design and selection of wireless structural monitoring systems; Permanent installation of wireless structural monitoring systems in infrastructure systems; Energy harvesting for sensing systems to assess and monitor civil infrastructures; System level design of a roaming, multi-modal, multi-sensor system for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures.
